Small firms · Capacity without headcount
Capacity that does not require another hire.
Small firms compete on responsiveness and lose on volume. Reading the whole file is where the gap actually is.
What changes for a firm of two to fifteen
Not headcount. The amount of the record anyone can actually read.
Take the matter you would have referred out
Document-heavy matters get turned away because the reading does not fit. That constraint moves.
Costs that do not scale with people
Per-workstation, not per-seat. Growing the firm does not multiply the software bill.
Confidentiality without infrastructure
The same obligations as a large firm, met by not transmitting the file rather than by a security programme you cannot staff.
An answer for the client questionnaire
Institutional clients now ask where AI processing happens. "On our own hardware, and it never leaves" is a strong answer.
What stays true on every matter
These do not change by practice area, firm size, or the question asked.
Bring the matter you nearly turned down.
The document-heavy one you passed on because the review did not fit. That is the case this changes.

The answers below are specific to this page’s subject.
How many attorneys can share a workstation?
The licence is per machine. How a firm schedules access is its own decision; a busy practice may want a second machine.
Do we need a server room?
No. It is a workstation, kept offline, in the office.
How does this compare to a small-firm cloud subscription?
Capital up front against a recurring per-seat cost, plus the disclosure difference. The comparison page on ownership versus subscription sets both out.
What if we already use a cloud tool?
Many firms will run both — a cloud tool for general work and offline for privileged material. The matter-level decision is the one that matters.
